From the monthly archives: December 2009
What do you say on the brink of a new decade? To say nothing seems a little remiss, somehow, yet to say anything feels inadequate. For the first time in three years, hubby and I will not be ringing in the New Year at home. I usually take some time to sort out my thoughts [...]
When it comes to Asian singers, there aren’t a whole lot that I really like and admire. But Jay Chou is one of them. I think he is a brilliant songwriter and he was open, chatty, funny and a little quirky throughout my (group) interview with him so it was great. Lin Chi Ling [...]
It’s Christmas Eve and hubby and I are keeping it quiet this year. Or rather, I am. As I type, he is engaged in fervent online warfare with his brother, having recently – finally – discovered the joys of X-Box Live. Safe for the sounds of gunfighting and valiant fighters dying and er, respawning(?), it [...]
As promised, my videos of Five Strangers performing at Rama V, KL. Unfortunately the quality of these recordings, which were taken with my trusty super-old Sony Cybershot, leave much to be desired but I assure you the band sounded much better live. I hear this may have been their first and last gig together, [...]
One of the best “side effects” from being pregnant is that I’ve really learned to listen to my body and take care of myself. It might sound terribly obvious to some but I never used to listen to my body the way I do now. It happened quite by accident.
During my first trimester, while [...]
Y and G with their band Five Strangers during their (first ever) gig at Thai restaurant Rama V on Tuesday night. Unfortunately this was the best photo I managed because I didn’t want to move from my seat and I didn’t want to use my flash (read: all the other photos had at [...]
Ever since I received a 2010 diary at an event earlier this month, I’ve been rather excited about the new year. It’s become a newly-acquired habit of mine to think about/write down each December what I want to focus on in the new year ahead so I’ve been giving 2010 some thought. It could just [...]
Now that I’m obviously pregnant, the question everybody wants to know is: are we having a boy or a girl? Someone once joked that I should wear a sign. I briefly considered making one. It would say something like:
I am ____ months pregnant.
I am having a girl/boy/don’t know.
But I got too [...]
You probably know the feeling: you’re watching a movie in a cinema when all of a sudden, there’s a rude thump on the back of your seat. You ignore it – perhaps your fellow moviegoer accidentally kicked your seat stretching their legs. Then it happens again. You ignore it still. And again. And again. By [...]
Being neither Team Edward nor Team Jacob (that is what they call them, yes?), I actually didn’t plan on watching this. I saw Twilight but that was on DVD and way after all the initial hype had come and gone. I remember thinking how amazing it was that such a mediocre film could incite such [...]
HEY THERE
Sophia is a writer and a mum. She is passionate about entertainment, sports and telling a good story. She is occasionally nerdy. This is where she talks a little bit about work, but mostly about her path to supermum-hood. Or so she likes to imagine.TWEETS
